I was wondering if you could help me out with TYC headlights.

Do you have problems with hot spots? I mean, with OEM headlights, you get this even blanket of light in front of you (even distribution of light).

With the TYC's (I have the black housing version), I see uneven light dispersion. I've tried every kind of aiming with the lights. I've fiddled with all the adjustment knobs on the back of the headlights, as well as adjusting the physical position of the lamps themselves with the three bolts that hold them onto the vehicle (can't really do anything with the fourth side bolts on each lamp).

I love the way the TYC's look on the car, but if they can't perform to give me sufficient lighting, I just can't use them.

Funny you mention that because I'm using a 6000k kit and didn't like the way the light was was spread in front of me. I just eventually switched back to my OEM headlights, but I liked the way the TYC's looked. I was hoping to hear from another TYC headlight user if this was common or if there was some kind of fix for it.

Thanks for your input.
